You don’t have to leave,
You can stay the night if you want to
Laid out in my arms she said, “Don’t fall for me,”
I replied that I’d try my best not to
We’ll see where that gets you
I know that she likes me, she once made it clear
We’re just impossible for now, and we’re nowhere near
Some nights spent we were doused in sleep
Others were drenched in sweat
Was there a way to make this better yet?
And no one had to play hard to get
Wake up in the morning, she lays next to me
Her skin rubs on my skin, a breast then her chin
She whispers in my ear she’s fallen for me
With this I am ok, I’m glad we’re on the same page
But you can fold your hand for now
While the chips are down
Are you frightened by my love?
Do you think we’re meant to be?
Wait, don’t answer that
And fingers graze spaghetti straps
This may be the last time that they ever graze your back
I know you have to go back
And the odds favor you never return
But for now, don’t leave
Stay this night, you want to
I’ll awake in the morning, she’ll sleep next to me
No longer is it the same, no longer on the same page
She’s off to a new chapter, and I’m back at the start
